Trump to Ban CNN, MS NOW, Politico From White House Over Fake News Coverage › American Greatness– amgreatness.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump said Friday that he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House in his long-running battle with news organizations he accuses of publishing false and unfair coverage.

“Media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America,” Trump wrote in a Friday Truth Social post. “Other Fake News Media Outlets to follow.”

Asked about the scope of the restrictions, Trump described the move as “a very simple ban.”

“I don’t want him in my office. I don’t want them here. I would say the ban would go as far as you can,” Trump told reporters.

Trump said Politico was targeted in part because the Biden administration spent $8 million on subscriptions, spending that Trump later canceled.

The targeted outlets pushed back. CNN said it stands behind its White House team and argued that implementing the ban would constitute “an illegal assault” on its constitutional rights.

USDA: Food Stamp Fraud Crackdown Has Saved Taxpayers Nearly $6 Billion– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins has announced that the Trump administration’s crackdown on fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program prevented nearly $6 billion in taxpayer losses, including by shutting down thousands of fraudulent retailers and illegal devices used to process food stamp benefits.

Rollins said in a September 15 post on X that the administration’s anti-fraud efforts have prevented $5.8 billion in losses since President Donald Trump returned to office.

The crackdown has included shutting down nearly 1,840 illegal SNAP devices used to process Electronic Benefit Transfer cards and disqualifying 5,335 fraudulent retailers from the program.

“Those who defraud SNAP are stealing from taxpayers and taking resources away from Americans who genuinely need assistance,” Rollins said.

“We have zero tolerance for this abuse, and we will continue pursuing bad actors and protecting the integrity of the program.”

The three news outlets denounced the ban as a violation of the US constitution and vowed to keep reporting on the US government.

Church of England Pulls Exhibit Celebrating Palestinian Jihadis– gellerreport.com

EXCERPT:

The Church of England is just leftism at prayer, and so it was hardly surprising that, as The Times put it in its headline on, of all days, September 11, “Church of England promotes tapestry ‘with tribute to jihadists.’” Well, of course. Leftists have their heroes and saints just like everyone else.

The Times explained that “the fabric that will go on display at Leeds Minster appears to show the names of 12 members of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and one member of Hamas.”

Ultimately, this did not happen; saner minds prevailed. The BBC reported Friday that “a church exhibition honouring people who have lost their lives in Gaza has been removed from show after it emerged the display was said to feature names of several Hamas fighters.”

Abashed, the church that was showing the exhibition issued a statement saying that it wanted to “work with all faith groups within the city and acknowledges that by hosting this exhibition we have harmed our relationship with some in the Jewish community for which we apologise and now seek to rebuild trust.”

The Justice Department (DOJ) announced charges against 16 people in seven states for alleged illegal voting, illegal voter registration, and related election crimes. Eight of the defendants were charged in Texas.

DOJ says the cases include noncitizens accused of voting in federal elections, false citizenship claims, and naturalization fraud. Investigators also turned up alleged passport fraud, wire fraud, and illegal firearm purchases.

The department was direct about the consequences:

“If you are not allowed to vote in our elections, you shouldn’t. And if you do, that’s a crime.”

It added a broader warning to anyone considering it:

“Let this be a warning to anyone trying to cheat and undermine our elections.”

Traffic In Strait Of Hormuz Passes Key Milestone, CENTCOM Says– trendingpoliticsnews.com

EXCERPT:

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Saturday that American forces have supported the movement of more than one billion barrels of crude oil through the Strait of Hormuz in recent months while enforcing a total naval blockade on Iranian ports.

“CENTCOM forces have supported more than one billion barrels of crude oil leaving the Gulf. That’s one billion barrels of crude oil out through the Strait of Hormuz in the last couple of months,” CENTCOM commander Admiral Brad Cooper announced in a video statement.

Cooper said U.S. forces reached the figure while assisting more than 2,000 commercial ship transits. “We’ve reached this significant milestone while assisting over 2,000 commercial ship transits through the Strait by providing coordinated protection. Clearly, momentum is building. Primary transit lanes in the Strait are clear of mines,” he added.

Cooper continued, “Thousands of ships have passed through the Strait. Over one billion barrels of crude have been shipped from Gulf partners through the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has exported zero barrels thanks to our ironclad blockade.”

The commander went on to state that volumes have increased in recent weeks and days. “The effort is paying off. The volume of crude oil, cargo, and liquid natural gas these past two weeks is higher than at any point in the past six months.” He further noted that CENTCOM was working with U.S. government agencies, the six Gulf Cooperation Council states, insurers, and shipping companies to raise traffic through the waterway.

NPR Criticizes GOP Rhetoric on Radical Islam in Election Campaigns– www.newsbusters.org

It was jarring on Thursday to hear NPR Morning Edition anchor A Martinez open an hour of the “newscast” warning about anti-Muslim “lies” from Republicans.

Muslim co-anchor Leila Fadel began their story:

FADEL: Over the last few months, anti-Muslim rhetoric has found a solid foothold in GOP messaging. Muslims, who make up about 1% of the population, are being made into a bogeyman in many of these political ads.

UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR #1: Radical Islam is taking root in Texas.

UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR #2: Radical Islam is incompatible with the West.

UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR #3: They don’t think we deserve the right to exist as Americans or as Christians.

UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR #4: Hate our way of life. They want Sharia law.

UNIDENTIFIED NARRATOR #5: Oklahoma is next.

FADEL: And this bigotry has been met with virtually no condemnation from Republicans.

Democrats Aim To Win Rural Voters By Lying About ‘Moderation’– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Texas Senate Democrat candidate James Talarico’s spiritual leader, the lesbian preacher Babs Miller, was recently caught on hidden camera admitting he’s lying to voters about his positions: “I can guarantee you that once he’s elected he’ll change his tune” on transgender politics, she told an undercover reporter.

Deceiving voters is Democrats’ strategy because their political extremism is unpopular. Democrats especially know they cannot win fair elections without making inroads in rural and small-town America, like the Texas areas Talarico needs to win a Senate seat. In fact, Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s campaigning in rural areas may have given him the edge in his primary against Haley Stevens.

Democrats in general, and the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in particular, are paying a lot more attention to rural America these days. That’s because rural America “is the wall the American Left keeps hitting,” according to longtime DSA activist Bhaskar Sunkara.

Democrats know that their brand is toxic in rural America. So, how to get elected while bearing a toxic brand? Sunkara advocates for a strong message of “progressive populism” delivered with “rhetorical discipline.” In a word: propaganda.

For Democrats, disciplined propaganda is critical to striking a delicate balance between keeping their base motivated and appealing to small-town and rural America. For example, with allies in the corporate media, they’ve concocted the narrative of a “Farmageddon” revolt in which farmers are angry with President Trump and the GOP.

Deep State Cited Wikipedia To Try To Launch Trump Investigation– thefederalist.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Walter Giardina — an FBI agent whistleblowers claim “openly stated his desire to investigate Trump, even if it meant false predication” — cited a Wikipedia article in support of launching yet another investigation of Donald Trump. That detail is but one of the crazier revelations buried in the latest cache of documents Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made public last week in conjunction with FBI Director Kash Patel’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

As The Federalist previously reported, last week Patel testified before “the Senate Judiciary Committee on a wide-range of topics.” He dropped in the middle of the four-hour-plus hearing news related to the ongoing investigation of the weaponization of the FBI: The FBI had “made up” the Round River “classification,” Patel told Grassley on Tuesday.

For several years, Grassley has led an investigation into the weaponization of the FBI, including the launch of the Round River investigation, which whistleblowers told the Iowa senator sought to “improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.” While Patel’s confirmation that the Round River “classification” was fraudulent and that his team was investigating “the individuals who launched and codified this false and fake [classification],” represented the biggest news of the day, the documents Grassley released in connection with the hearing revealed many more troubling details about the weaponization of the FBI.

EXCERPT:

Appearing as a guest on Wednesday’s The Ingraham Angle on Fox News Channel, border czar Tom Homan called out some of the liberal media’s misinformation attacking ICE activities.

Host Laura Ingraham raised the issue by showing a clip of MS NOW’s Joe Scarborough from Tuesday’s Morning Joe trying to intimidate ICE by warning that they will punished after President Donald Trump leaves office:

LAURA INGRAHAM: Joe Scarborough was essentially warning ICE agents that are currently working for the Trump administration to beware when Democrats take power. Watch.

JOE SCARBOROUGH (from MS NOW’s Morning Joe): I warned on this show in real time that justice will find them, that they’re being told right now, “We’ll pay you X amount of money, put on this mask, you can go out, you can do whatever you want to do, and Donald Trump will protect you.” Donald Trump won’t be in the White House forever. (editing jump) Justice will find them.

So, it’s law enforcement turned upside down. Let’s put the law enforcers in prison. The Fox News host posed:

Tom, I don’t know what exactly he’s getting at here — there, but I think he’s saying you’re going to jail, you’re going to be prosecuted, you’re going to be bankrupted by the Democrat machine that’s going to grind you into the dirt for having done this job.

SURPRISE: Margaret Brennan Imploded the 1A Argument Against the WH Press Ban– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

CBS promoted Margaret Brennan’s interview with U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar as a followup to her video on immigration that dominated the news cycle. What CBS got instead was a complete undermining of the Elite Media’s First Amendment argument against the White House bans against CNN, MS NOW and Politico.

Watch as Brennan tries to engage Salazar on the media bans, collegially gets told to pound sand, before proceeding to blow the First Amendment argument into a million pieces:

MARGARET BRENNAN: I want to talk to you about a number of issues but let me just start up front. Because you are a former journalist, I’m sure you saw yesterday journalists from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW were blocked from entering The White House after the president objected to the content of their organization’s reporting. Do you agree with the president’s order to do that?

MARIA ELVIRA SALAZAR: Well, I think that the president has a different type of style, but at the same time, I think that he is the most accessible president in the later years that has been- that has been talking to the media. You know, he talks to everybody. So, he may not be allowing for some journalists to go into one place, but I’m sure that he’s going- he’s going be talking to everybody at some point. That’s his style and he is been–

BRENNAN: Yeah.

SALAZAR: –very accessible, not like Biden.

BRENNAN: No, I- I understand that point, but when it comes to saying you can’t attend press briefings because I don’t like what you said, doesn’t that premise violate the spirit of the First Amendment?

SALAZAR: Well, I think that he has his own style, and that he will determine who he wants to talk to. But with social media, and with all the different outlets out there for people to receive information, I am sure that those journalists are going to be able to cover the president the way that you- free speech, the way you determine. Because you know, you- the media–

Bombshell Confession: Gaza’s ‘Journalists’ Hid Hamas Atrocities and Silenced Its Victims– gellerreport.com

EXCERPT:

No media coverage from the sharia-compliant Nazi-fetishist media.

In a stunning admission in this blockbuster interview, celebrated Gazan “photojournalist” Motaz Azaiza has admitted that journalists in Hamas-run Gaza routinely lowered their cameras and suppressed footage whenever Palestinians blamed Hamas for unleashing the war—confirming that much of the world’s Gaza coverage was a carefully censored propaganda narrative designed to indict Israel while erasing Hamas’s crimes and silencing Palestinian dissent.

Azaiza revealed that he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten on October 7 but deliberately withheld the footage to protect their attackers—exposing the monstrous fraud behind the media-manufactured hero.

Hamas runs a WhatsApp group with all of Gaza’s journalists, where Hamas “managed the discourse and the narrative.”

Dana Bash Appeal to Mike Waltz’ Service over WH Press Ban Is SHUT DOWN– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

As is often the case, the Elitist Media find a way to make the Elitist Media the centerpiece of whatever they do. CNN’s Dana Bash attempted to do the same with the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Mike Waltz, and got promptly schooled.

Watch as Bash’s appeal to Waltz’ military service is promptly balled up and thrown right back at her:

DANA BASH: On Friday, President Trump banned CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the white house. The president, as I mentioned, is about to host the Chinese leader. Historically, it was the United States pushing countries like China for greater press freedoms. Now, President Trump is the one backsliding on these rights. Are you comfortable with this?

MIKE WALTZ: The president is absolutely within his rights to limit, uh, journalists to government facilities. Particularly when, in his opinion, they’re not behaving as good faith journalists. And that’s just not his opinion. That’s the Supreme Court’s opinion. There are multiple cases, Zemel versus Rusk off the top of my head. And I’m not a lawyer. That said, look, you can have the ability to speak. You can have the ability to publish as an open and free press, but you don’t have an inherent right to any government facility that you want, whether it’s Langley or The White House. And so I’ll leave it to the lawyers, but I think the president is absolutely spot on here.

BASH: Mr. Ambassador, you are a decorated veteran. You served in an elite unit, the Green Berets, for 27 years defending freedoms like the First Amendment, and the president you work for just banned three news organizations. And he said it- it’s because he doesn’t like some of the things that are being reported.

WALTZ: Dana, the prior administration limited all kinds of journalistic outfits and journalists themselves that they deemed as right wing. Those have now been allowed onto the onto the facility. And the president doesn’t believe others are acting in good faith. Heck, I just saw one yesterday use anonymous sources referencing someone who’s dead. And so, you know, I think I would hope that the media would take a good introspective look at itself and its practices because it throws things out there and then puts a little baby correction that nobody pays attention to, and it sticks to people like napalm. And so it is- it is incredibly frustrating, I can tell you, as someone who’s serving in the public space, but meanwhile, again, the Supreme Court has been very clear in multiple cases going back to the 60s, there was a different your right to speak- different, your right to publish than having access to any government facility that you want.

Politicians Forgot Backup Power When They Pushed Clean Power in 13 States: Now Electric Bills Are Skyrocketing– www.westernjournal.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

Thirteen states from Vermont to Hawaii have written a hard deadline into law: 100 percent carbon-free (CO2-free) or “clean” electricity, most by 2040 or 2045. Lawmakers sold these mandates as a bargain: cheaper power alongside cleaner air. Voters in those states are struggling with ever-increasing electricity bills increasing faster than non-mandate states.

The metric politicians lean on to make that case is the “levelized cost of energy” (LCOE), which ranks wind and solar as the cheapest sources of generation on the grid.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration itself cautions that the ranking is misleading because LCOE reflects the cost to build and run a single generator.

It says nothing about whether that generator can deliver power at 6 p.m. on a windless February evening, exactly when a grid needs it most.

Energy analysts, Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling, answer the question EIA’s own number dodges. Their “Always On Levelized Cost of Energy” (AOLOC) model adds back everything a bare LCOE figure leaves out: backup generation, transmission, overbuilt capacity and the power curtailed to keep intermittent resources reliable.

NPR Story on Charlie Kirk Doxxing Focus Draws Conservative Backlash– www.newsbusters.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

NPR’s Weekend Edition September 12 story by “domestic extremism correspondent” Odette Yousef once again only spied extremists on the right side of the ideological divide, ignoring worse activity on the left, and ridiculously implied that conservatives invented “doxxing” — revealing private information about a person online toward hostile ends — after the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Yousef’s story began at Utah Valley University, the place where Charlie Kirk was assassinated on September 10 of last year.

The quiet of the courtyard belies the violence that took place in it a year ago, and the deepened social rupture that followed. The hard-right activist was killed in front of an audience of thousands while he was debating a student with progressive political views. The co-founder and then-leader of Turning Point USA, Kirk was arguably the most influential conservative youth movement leader in a generation – and his death set off an unprecedented frenzy of intimidation, harassment and threats that seemingly reached into every corner of the country.

“Unprecedented frenzy”? Was Yousef sleeping during Woke One, where anyone in liberal-leaning occupations who dissented online from the prevailing views about George Floyd, transgenderism, or vaccination were at risk of harassment or firing? X is full of woke atrocities that the elite media would prefer be flushed down the memory hole.

Now, Yousef seems to lament that liberals can’t express glee over the murder of conservatives without consequence. She conveniently pinpointed the “accelerated erosion of political norms” onto the “last decade” — i.e. Trump’s first election.

“After Charlie [Kirk was assassinated]. … you didn’t need to be [targeted by] one of the big [social media] accounts, obviously, for anyone to find you,” said Shauna Dillavou, CEO of Brightlines, a doxing prevention service. “Your neighbor found you or your friends found you. A comment in a closed group chat that would get screenshotted and passed up the chain. And that was the big shift: the neighbor-on-neighbor, trusted circle, inner sanctum violence.”

President Donald Trump is reviewing possible next steps in the U.S.-Iran conflict this week, which have been reported as a choice among a negotiated agreement, continued economic isolation, or a significant expansion of military action.

While speaking with Fox News, Trump listed three primary paths for ending the conflict. These include Iran reaching a deal with the United States, the United States allowing the Iranian economy to deteriorate further under existing pressure, or a decision on whether to conduct far larger strikes. He asked when he might choose the last option and said Iran “better behave.”

Earlier in the week he told Axios he faced a “big decision” on whether to “annihilate” the Iranian regime. He added that “anything could happen.”

POLL: Would You Vote Against ANY Candidate Who Calls Themselves A Socialist?

Data Analysis Proves Radical Communists Aren’t the Fringe: Majority of Dems Are DSA– www.westernjournal.com

EXCERPT:

The majority of Democrats support the Democratic Socialists of America, a Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday found.

The latest survey shows among Democrat, 59% consider themselves DSA supporters, compared to just 30% do not. Out of total voters polled just 26% consider themselves supportive of the DSA, compared to 66% who do not consider themselves backers of the socialist group.

If a candidate for elected office identifies as a DSA supporter, 17% of respondents say it makes them more likely to back that candidate, the survey states. By comparison, 43% of voters say it makes them less likely to vote for that candidate while 35% of respondents say it makes no difference.

The DSA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Several Democratic socialist candidates have notched primary wins in recent months. Darializa Avila Chevalier in New York, Melat Kiros in Colorado and Donovan McKinney in Michigan all defeated incumbent Democratic lawmakers while Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania and Claire Valdez in New York won their open seat races.

DSA supporters generally have high levels of education but tend to fall within lower- to middle-income brackets, the DSA North Star’s most recent survey shows.

“Our candidates are going up against corporate backed opponents, and they’re going to need your help to get over the finish line this November,” the DSA said in a Oct. 3, 2025 X post.

In June, the DSA released a new platform, dubbed “Workers Deserve More,” which in part proposes to “draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.” The socialist group’s platform has drawn intense public criticism from congressional Republicans.

ICE agent shoots and wounds man in Austin, Texas, sparking demands for full investigation– www.cbsnews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

A federal immigration agent shot and wounded a man on Sunday in Austin, Texas, authorities said.

The shooting occurred shortly before 1 p.m. local time on the city’s north side. Chief of Austin-Travis County EMS Robert Luckritz said at a Sunday news conference he believes the man was shot once in the torso and that he was in serious condition.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson said that, while the man’s condition was serious, he was stable.

A lawyer for the man who was shot identified him as Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, a 28-year-old Venezuelan national. Attorney Kate Lincoln-Goldfinch told CBS News that Garces Perez was working for DoorDash at the time of the shooting, and said he called his wife from his car while “yelling in pain.” DoorDash confirmed he was in the process of a delivery when the shooting happened and said it was investigating.

Lincoln-Goldfinch said Sunday night that Garces Perez had been released from Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas “into what we believe is ICE custody.” She said Garces Perez had been initially held for approximately six hours, during which time officers declined to provide his wife with meaningful information about his status or circumstances.

“We are deeply concerned that his wife and family have not been permitted to see him and have not received a meaningful update regarding his current condition or whereabouts,” she said.

She told CBS News that when they rushed to the hospital, law enforcement “ran us off the property and told us we can’t even stand on the driveway.”

Even Republican pollsters see a blue wave– www.dailykos.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

As polls turn further toward Democrats ahead of November’s midterm elections, one might expect Republican pollsters to try to cut against that narrative and release some data to put a damper on all this blue-wave talk. But so far, they generally aren’t doing that.

A spate of new surveys from GOP-affiliated pollsters show Democrats well positioned across key Senate races.

In Texas’ Senate contest, two Republican polls show Democratic nominee James Talarico ahead of Republican nominee Ken Paxton. One from InsiderAdvantage shows Talarico up 2 points, while another, from SoCal Strategies, has him leading Paxton by 5 points.

One InsiderAdvantage poll even shows a close race in South Carolina’s Senate race: Democratic nominee Annie Andrews trails Republican Sen. Darline Graham by just 2 points. That is remarkable for a state that President Donald Trump won in 2024 by 18 points, and where no Democratic Senate nominee has lost by less than 9.6 points since the 1990s.

Notably, the only nonpartisan poll released since the start of July, from Abacus Data, showed Graham ahead of Andrews by 13 points.

Trafalgar Group, a GOP pollster infamous for its opaque methodology, finds the Democratic Senate candidates ahead in Michigan (D+2), North Carolina (D+6), and Georgia (D+7). All of those results are roughly in line with those from nonpartisan firms, despite Trafalgar having a track record of bias toward Republican candidates.
